Today’s mainstream farming practices are not sustainable.
Earth’s population continues to grow, which puts pressure on food systems. That means more demand and less supply – farmers should be happy and rich.
Unfortunately, this isn’t true!
Most farmers in the European Union rely on subsidies to make ends meet. In additional, at current the rate, there are only 40-60 harvests left in the EU and North-America due to soil degeneration. (source)
Bringing world-class agronomical knowledge to every farmer
Fortunately, there are a small number of farmers who earn good profits in a sustainable way, and who also convert CO2 into the soil. But achieving this requires deep expertise in both agronomy and agribusiness. World-class farm managers are very expensive, often costing up to $150K a year. eAgronom uses technology to make that same expertise available at 1/10th of the cost.
eAgronom brings AI-based farm management software to grain producers, which simplifies farmers’ paperwork and provides recommendations that are both profitable and sustainable.
